Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, Widgets, Scrapblogs, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and thousands of other Web 2.0 applications made it easy to create content – and more and more young people are doing so, with social networking sites becoming a significant part of contemporary culture.

Power of the Crowd: refers to the collective intelligence that can be harnessed from large groups of people. The basic premise is that, subject to certain conditions, a large group of knowledgeable (but non-expert) users can make better decisions than any individual expert. Web services such as Digg and Wikipedia are cited as examples of this collective intelligence.

Architecture of participation: based on the twin ideas that Web services must be easy to use (thereby encouraging participation) and organized in such a way as to improve as more people use them. Google Search is a good example since it is very straight-forward to use and its search algorithms learn from the results of previous searches. An aspect of ease-of-use is the idea that not only is new content easy to create but it should be easily created from pre-existing content or easily combined with the contents of other web services (“mash-ups”).User Generated Content: refers to the ease of creating content.

The generous copyright terms of Creative Commons licenses illustrate this philosophy.
